Entrance channels: The channel has a 150m wide clearance entrance to negotiate and around 500m width approaching the Nasipit Port reinforced government wharf. Turning basins: The turning basin has a radius of approx 200m with a min navigable depth of 7.0m at MLLW. Deep water at the port of Nasipit extends well into the harbour, but the inner end is filled with mud flats, fish ponds and swamps which extend around a part of the eastern side. Generally, the bottom which slopes down to the 10.0m contour is quite steep. The harbour is protected by an outer coral reef stretching across the entrance from the western headland and by an inner sand pit stretching across the eastern direction from which waves may approach and enter the harbour in the NE. Waves from this direction may be absorbed on a spreading beach which exists on the western side of the inlet. From a position 1.5nm N of the harbour entrance, steer approx 180° for the black chimney of the timber mill on the E side of the harbour. When Nasipit Harbour light tower bears 215°, steer for it on that bearing, passing 150m E of the red spherical buoy. When the rocky bluff on the W side of the entrance bears 325°, alter course to 180° for the pier or anchorage.
